The feeling of my skin,
Like the tension of
A tightly coil'd spring.
Pressing through surface thin,
Bursting through to
Fracture this bitter thing.

Voiceless sounds
Escaping the swallowed fire,
that now, burns throughout.
Heat in every cell abounds,
Match-like nerves beneath,
Beguil'd, an inferno pulse about.

Lead me to cooler climes,
Soothe the Surtric disposition,
Tell me stories, or sing me song,
To heark'n lighter times;
Mayhap ample succor therein be,
Ere soul consum'd by fiery throng.
